In recent years, scholars in China have increasingly noted that traditional musicology should not be restricted in its use of global methodologies and approaches within music science. Traditional music represents an essential component of Chinese culture and is characterized by its diversity and complexity. This paper focuses on the specificity of musical thinking in traditional Chinese music, the modern development of its styles and genres, and the influence of traditional Chinese music on contemporary composers. It also seeks to outline possible pathways for the future development of China’s national music, drawing on an analysis of relevant historical facts and classical Chinese musical works.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Вопросы внешних влияний и национальной идентичности в формировании и развитии современной китайской музыкальной практики приобрели значительную актуальность на государственном уровне. В последние годы ученые в Китае все чаще отмечают, что традиционное музыковедение не следует ограничивать в плане использования мировых методов и направлений музыкальной науки. Традиционная музыка является важной частью китайской культуры и характеризуется разнообразием и сложностью. Рассматриваются особенности музыкального мышления в традиционной китайской музыке, прослеживается эволюция, а также анализируется влияние этих традиций на современных композиторов. Кроме того, на основе исторических источников и классических китайских музыкальных произведений предлагаются возможные пути будущего развития китайской национальной музыки.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Confucius</kwd><kwd>Records on Music</kwd><kwd>Alexander Tcherepnin</kwd><kwd>Shen Xingguan</kwd><kwd>Xiao Youmei</kwd><kwd>lü-dü</kwd><kwd>pitch-standard system</kwd><kwd>yang-qi</kwd><kwd>yin-qi</kwd><kwd>pentatonic scale</kwd><kwd>Chinese opera</kwd><kwd>traditional Chinese music</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Конфуций</kwd><kwd>«Записки о музыке»</kwd><kwd>А.
